Walsh to continue on 'X Factor' with old pal Simon

Louis Walsh will return to the 'X Factor' since Simon Cowell couldn't do the show "without" him.

The 61-year-old star has been a judge on the singing contest since its inception in 2004 and although last summer he insisted he was going to step down it seems he's reconsidered his stance since show boss and good friend Simon is making a comeback to the UK version of the programme.
